My name is Mariya, was born and grew up in Ukraine. Today i am Chicago-based/international documentary photographer.
As a creative soul, I'm always on the lookout for artistic challenges. I refuse to be bound by rules, time limits, or expectations. My approach is to create in my own unique way.
I always have a clear vision of the final picture in my mind, and I'm determined to bring my projects to life, even if I'm not sure of the technicalities – I'll figure them out.
It has been my lifelong passion. With a master's degree in fine art, I seamlessly blend creativity and an artistic eye to capture the beauty that surrounds us. Drawing inspiration from the realms of high fashion, art, and music, I infuse my work with timeless elegance and create lasting memories for my forward-thinking couples. Inspired by the art of storytelling, my work magically transforms your special day into a cinematic experience.
JOY & NATURAL MOMENTS
Instead of a overly polished, less-than-authentic version of your special day, I'll deliver photos filled with genuine elegance and heartfelt emotions. My friends often describe me as bold, artistic, open-minded, and passionate about life. I believe there are no rigid rules to follow.
On your wedding day, I'll capture the real moments as they naturally happen, with a focus on the beauty of natural light and true-to-life colors. This way, you can look back on your photos with pure joy and sweet nostalgia, remembering everything just as it was.
MY EXPERTISE
Fearless decisions, an artistic vision. With over 20 years of practice and experience, I'm well-prepared to handle any lighting and weather conditions. I'll ensure you're at ease in front of the camera. i like to be invisible sometimes to capture that raw moment!. With a professional yet laid-back approach, I'll be fully dedicated to your day, ensuring your comfort and an enjoyable experience.
... Her work is truly REMARKABLE and we are soooo happy with our photos. They were TRULY BEHIND THE SCENES and captured some of the most amazing moments from our wedding from various perspectives. She MADE COMMENTS of how to adjust and look which really helped get some STUNNING PHOTOS that were still ABOUT the MOMENT ITSELF and less about staging...
